Cable Bridge Surat 🇮🇳

When you visit Surat, Gujarat, you can experience the Pandit Dindayal Upadhyay Bridge, commonly known as the Cable Bridge Surat. Spanning the Tapti River, this cable-stayed bridge provides a key link connecting the Athwa and Adajan areas of the city. As you cross or view this landmark, named after Indian thinker and politician Deendayal Upadhyaya, you will also see its connected three-way interchange flyover bridge on the Athwalines side, constructed to facilitate an easy flow of traffic.

First proposed in 2006, construction began in 2010 and involved engineers like Gammon India and Unique Construction. Your visit reveals an honest story of civic development, as the project experienced a severe construction delay following a 2014 flyover collapse, prompting rigorous investigations and design updates by L&T Infrastructure Engineering. Inaugurated on October 2, 2018, by Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani after eight years of work, the structure stands today as a vital artery in Surat.

Whether you are admiring the cable-stayed river span or observing the busy Athwa interchange, you will gain a deeper appreciation for the city's modern transit network and urban growth.
